When I think coleslaw, I think of either Kentucky Fried Chicken’s version or my Grandpa’s – both delicious. (Does anyone else ever wonder how KFC packs so much coleslaw in such a tiny container?!) And while coleslaw is associated with many childhood memories for me, it’s a side dish I rarely eat as an adult. I mention that as a disclaimer because this recipe from The Yiddish Kitchen is quite good, but I have no idea if it tastes like coleslaw because it’s just been so long since I’ve had the real thing. All of you coleslaw conneusiers will have to let me know how it stacks up!
Dill-ish Slaw
Adapted from The Yiddish Kitchen
INGREDIENTS
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup low-fat vegan mayo (I like Hampton Creek)
2 tbsp honey
1-2 tsp dried dill (or 1/4 cup fresh)
1/4 tsp celery seed (I omitted)
1 medium head cabbage, shredded (I used 2 bags of pre-shredded red and green cabbage)
2 large carrots shredded (I used about 3/4 bag pre-shredded)
1/4 onion thinly sliced
DIRECTIONS
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together all ingredients except cabbage, carrots, and onion.
Once dressing is well combine and smooth, toss in cabbage, carrots, and onion. With clean hands, you can also combined with your hands to really help the flavors and juices marry.
Enjoy right away or, for the best flavor, let sit overnight covered in the fridge.
NOTE – This is not a mayo heavy slaw, so don’t be afraid to use the mayo here. If you’re worried about that though, you can add more cabbage or carrots to have the slaw be less saucy
